Patsy Takemoto Mink

"Patsy would get up and dance the hula." - Lorna Takehara Strand

Patsy hosted big Christmas parties upstairs at Leeward Drive Inn in Waipahu. 

So much food, games, give away stuff, such a fun time and at the end of the

party, Patsy would get up and dance the hula.  Even after she went to Congress, 

and her Christmas parties were held in more elaborate places, she would still get 

up and dance the hula. Others would get up and dance too, she was so great. 

 

"Wow, that was Patsy Mink dancing the hula!" - Lorna Takehara Strand

The photographs of Patsy Mink dancing hula on Waikiki Beach and with her 

daughter Wendy in their backyard in Waipahu were taken by LIFE Magazine 

photographer Ralph Crane.  "Patsy Mink Goes to Washington. 

The First Congresswoman from Overseas." was published in the 

January 22, 1965 edition of LIFE Magazine.
